Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

Steak

Plastic smiles
On a wax face,
A thousand shivers
Through each vertebrae,
The seams of my heart
Split and rip until
Only a thread
Keeps it together.

I am enigmatic,
Able to take the
Broken pieces and
Make art out of
Tatters and lies;
Able to pretend a
Fabrication to make
It real; able to dine
In sorrow while everyone has steak.
